Dude- have you even acrually read the book? That kind of ignorant, foaming-at-the-mouth rant gives us fundemental Christians a bad name. Try to find the facts before you pop off on your minister's favorite soapbox, will ya?

3. Harry Potter will not hook up with Hermione. But his best friend will.

4. And Harry Potter will never see Dumbledore alive again. But Dumbledore will still manage to help him. (number added) 1,3 and 4 are almost obvious.

1. The central message of Harry Potter is that talent (Harry), loyalty (Ron) and hard work (Hermiuone) are not enough to defeat evil - in the end it takes love. To make that point Harry must eventually defeat Voldemort with the help of love.

3. They have been setting up Ron and Hermionefrom the beginning.

4. All the lesser former heads of Hogwarts live on and help their successors. Dumbledore as the greatest wizard ever will, of course, live on.

As for Snape, if he betrayed Dumbledore then he will likely die. If he worked with Dumbledore to the end, then as the only Deatheater to renounce evil he will likely live to make a point.

OK- I see the joke now. The phrase "too clever by half" comes to mind. Unfortunately, there are folks who think the whole thing is Satanic, without ever understanding what phrases like "expecto patronis" means or understanding the religious allegory tradition on which JK's stories are based (like C.S. Lewis' were).

Repeated from a prior thread speculating on which 2 characters would die in the final book:

The one who gets the reprieve will be either Snape, Malfoy or Dumbledore. (Don't argue -- that's a different thread.)

The people that will die? If Snape's really evil, he's dead. If Voldemort finds out that Snape isn't a double agent, but a super secret reverse triple whammy, he's dead. If he didn't actually kill Dumbledore after making an Unbreakable Vow, well, he's dead.... Looks like Snape's a goner. That should mean that he lives.

Fred and/or George. One's definitely going to buy the farm. The other will avenge his death.

Neville lives. He has a major score to settle and it'd be a real downer if A) he doesn't get to, or B) he dies shortly afterward. I think more people will be p*ssed if Neville dies than if Harry dies. (Some folks may not like the idea of Harry dying, but they're prepared for it and possibly expecting it.)

Hermione lives. Rowling committing suicide in her final book? Nah. She needs Hermione if she ever wants to do another book in the same realm or setting. Besides, Hermione took the big hit in Book 2.

Ron lives, unless he tells Hermione that he loves her and can't live without her and wants to marry her. In that case, he's a goner. And he might get killed, too.

Ginny. There's an untold(so far) story concerning Ginny. Will she die at the end of it?

Now that the actor is doing full nude in a play that scene is kind of a moot point. The producers are unhappy.
